‘Walking Dead’ actress Alicia Witt reflects on overcoming health struggles and personal tragedy

Alicia Witt shared that performing on "The Masked Singer" was more emotional than she "could have possibly imagined." The 47-year-old actress and musician was eliminated from the FOX reality competition television series on Wednesday night after being unmasked as Dandelion.

The "Twin Peaks" alum's appearance on the show came after a painful and challenging year in which she fought breast cancer, underwent reconstruction surgery and coped with the unexpected loss of her parents, who were found dead in their home in December 2021.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Witt opened up about how she believed her late parents had a role in helping her get the opportunity and were there with her along the way. "I believe they had everything to do with the timing of getting the invitation to appear on the show," the "Younger" singer said.

She continued, "I was coming out of breast reconstruction.The anesthesia was wearing off, and I was in the facility having just woken up from it, looking over my emails, groggily getting back to my friends wondering how I had done." "And there's the invitation to appear on ‘The Masked Singer.’ I think my parents had to do with the synchronicity of that.They're helping me through the other side of this." Witt was the 14th contestant to be eliminated in the show's ninth season, which premiered in February.
